Hi,

What you should know is this :

... could not open /proc/modules

"OVH" kernels (kernels prepared for their servers) do not use the "modules" option -* everything is packed in the kernel, modules are not allowed.

So, if you want to install this "VirtualBox", you should install another kernel that supports modules.
This often boils down to : do some shopping here : www.kernel.org - set it up (use a config from a most recent OVH kernel - ans activate module support ) compile and build it - install it. Reboot. And you'll be using your "own" kernel.

Hello,

I'm trying to setup VirtualBox on my machine (running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server), however, when I run the installer I am informed by the installer that my kernel module (3.14.32-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64) cannot be found, full log:

I was wondering if I could have help setting up VirtualBox using the special custom kernel that OVH clearly use (having checked "uname -r" it appears so).

Thanks,
